in the days when the old sailing ships
crossed the ocean
and
sometimes got lost
between the continents
without computers
to steer their course
there were certain bright stars
in the sky
and
the mariners knew
if they sailed towards their star
it would lead them home
again
thus was born the expression
guiding star

when i was lost
out on the open road
my
heart filled
with nothing but battle
you
were the guiding star
which
led me back home
whenever my direction
has been buffeted by the wind
i've
always seen you shining
in my sky
for you are a star from heaven
which fell
into
this world
and lit my way
